Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 296 Yeqi
After getting off the train, what is the means of transportation to Hogwarts?
From Harry Potter's perspective, it was a ship in his first year, he was not sure in his second year (he and Ron went to Hogwarts by flying car), Harry thought it was an invisible carriage in his third and fourth years, and it was not until his fifth year that Harry realized it was a Thestral.

Harry is actually not an ignorant wizard, especially since he has Ron, who has a wide range of unconventional knowledge, and Hermione, who is knowledgeable, by his side.

But even so, after Harry had Care of Magical Creatures in his third year and had Hagrid as a friend, he still didn't know about the Thestrals.

This is actually all because of one thing. The Thestrals are considered unlucky creatures in the wizarding world. Wizards believe that they will bring all kinds of terrible disasters to those who see them.

Even Hagrid was afraid to talk about it in class at first.

Although Hagrid liked majestic animals, he also understood that there were some magical creatures that he should not talk about when he first became the professor of Care of Magical Biology.

The Hippogriff's fall was only because Hagrid didn't expect that someone would dare to deliberately provoke him - after he clearly said that this creature was proud and would be dangerous if it didn't do what he asked.

Therefore, in the original world line, Hagrid's predecessor, Professor Kettleburn, never talked about it, and Hagrid only started to introduce the creature known as the Thestrals in class five years after Harry's death.

The Thestrals also have a property that makes them invisible to people who have never seen death.

And this kind of death is to see the passing of intelligent life and to fully accept and understand it.

In the original world line, Harry did not see the Thestrals immediately after witnessing Cedric's death. He saw them only after it took him some time to fully accept what had happened.

Just from this, we can actually understand why the use of the Night Thestrals to pull the carriage has never been discovered.

After all, no teacher has ever told them about it, and its shape is invisible to most mentally immature young wizards (who don't understand death).

To the little wizard who saw it, the Thestral had a creepy appearance - it was large and skinny, with a head that looked very much like a dragon, a pair of white eyes without pupils, and a pair of large bat wings.

Plus, in the wizarding world, hearing voices that others can't hear and seeing things that others can't see are not a good sign.

Now, even the little wizard who saw it would not tell of its existence.

In the original world line, Luna's exclusion was probably related to it. Luna liked to go to the kitchen and get some bloody raw meat to feed them.

In the eyes of the little wizard who could not see the Thestrals, a little witch covered in blood was throwing the flesh and blood of some unknown creature into the air, and the flesh and blood continued to disappear.

This is already considered a horror movie.

Moreover, Luna's eyes are very prominent, and are a rare silver-white color.

So, seeing the Thestrals is not a good thing.

It's not superstition, but its appearance, coupled with the rejection of others.

So, Ryan, who had already got off the carriage, hesitated for a moment when Hermione asked what pulled the carriage, considering whether to introduce it to Hermione directly or use his own means to let Hermione see it.

"Ryan, these carriages obviously have nothing to pull them, so why do they have to set up spurs in front (two straight wooden poles in front of the carriages to pull the livestock)?" Seeing Ryan was stunned for a moment, Hermione thought he didn't understand what she meant, so she explained to Ryan in detail.

At this moment, Ryan and the others had already boarded the carriage, including Hermione, Ryan, Harry and Ron.

Draco got in one with Goyle, Crabbe, and Pansy.

"Yeah, what are those? Invisible horses?"

"Also, Ryan, long time no see Hermione!"

"Thank you for your gifts!" Harry also came closer and asked curiously.

After being away from Ryan for a summer vacation, he had many questions about magic that he wanted to consult Ryan.

Ryan and Hermione exchanged a few words with Harry, and also greeted Harry and Ron. "I think this might be an alchemical item!"

"Dumbledore is just a great alchemist—he can work with Nicolas Flamel!"

"You don't know, but Dumbledore also came to Harry's birthday this time!... He also gave Harry a magical Deluminator... Harry even invented a spell through him!" Ron looked proud, as if he was the one who received Dumbledore's gift and had his birthday celebrated.

But Ryan could understand it. After all, Ron was stupid in some ways. He didn't know that the magic trap he had broken into last semester was actually very simple. In addition, this time he and Harry broke into the place where Voldemort hid his most precious things.

It's normal for Ron to be so inflated.

But Harry didn't know that Ryan knew it all, and he couldn't stop winking at Ron when Ron was boasting.

This made Ron think that Harry was asking him to talk more.

"Yes! This person is not an outsider!"

"Hermione is my friend, Ryan is my roommate, not to mention that I have shared everything about the Philosopher's Stone last school year with them!" Ron suddenly realized in his heart.

So he continued to talk about his, Harry's and Draco's summer vacation. If he hadn't been more careful, he would have even mentioned Regulus.

"Okay, Ron, why don't we listen to Ryan's thoughts? I think he definitely knows what this carriage is about."

"You know, Ryan and Hermione were the first place last year." Harry couldn't help but say.

He didn't know that Ron was a little cunning, so he could only interrupt him quickly to prevent Regulus's affairs from being leaked.

Ron smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. He felt that Harry was bringing glory to others and undermining his own prestige.

Although Ryan and Hermione were not outsiders, they were still their friends.

But this trend cannot be allowed to continue!

What if Harry keeps being so modest and causes the fame they deserve to suffer.

You know, last school year, when Ron was bragging about how he and Harry saved the Philosopher's Stone, Harry said a lot of things like this.

But Ron kept his mouth shut. Although fame and bragging about himself and Harry were important, the relationship between him and Harry, and between him and Ryan and Hermione was also important.

"Harry is right." Ryan kept it a secret.

But Ron immediately burst into joy and was not at all frustrated because he guessed wrong.

In his mind, there was no difference between Harry and him guessing correctly.

Harry didn't say anything, but just stretched his neck to hear the rest of the words clearly.

"That's a Thestral, a creature that can only see death if it sees it and accepts it," Ryan said, and he drew his wand and waved it.

"Thestrals! This kind of creature will bring disaster! I dare say it's a little worse than Ominous!" Ron said in shock at first, and then the next second, he and Harry and the others widened their eyes and were speechless.

Before their eyes, in the middle of Xuanyuan, a strange horse appeared before their eyes.

There was no meat on the horse's body. Its black fur was tightly attached to its skeleton, and every bone was clearly visible.
